Chapter 169: 073: Maintenance_7

The villagers were kind-hearted and simple, and it was with their assistance that an orphan child could grow up well without straying from the right path.

Zhao Cui Nong nodded and continued, "What about you, elder sister? Were you naughty?"

"Me?" Lin Guixiang was startled.

"Mhm."

Lin Guixiang shook her head, "I don’t remember much. I only remember things after our parents passed away, many things from before are very vague, especially after I was five or six years old."

After five or six years old?

Zhao Cui Nong frowned subtly, it seemed her mother was right, Lin Guixiang really was an adopted child...

Under normal circumstances, although the memories of a five or six-year-old child aren’t clear, most have already started to form memories, but why can’t Lin Guixiang remember?

What exactly had she experienced?

Or was it that Lin Guixiang knew her own background but simply didn’t want to say it?

Considering this, Zhao Cui Nong said with a smile, "Elder sister, maybe you just started remembering things later. I remember I was quite mischievous when I was little, at three years old I stole my grandpa’s dentures, causing him to search for them all morning."

"Perhaps," Lin Guixiang said with a smile.

Seeing there were no other expressions on her face, Zhao Cui Nong dismissed the thought. If Lin Guixiang really knew the secret of her origin, she wouldn’t be so calm.

——

Shen Family.

The butler handed a key to Shen Lijun, "Miss, the house on Wutong Road has been renovated, would you like to take a look?"

"That was fast, wasn’t it?" Shen Lijun took the key, surprised.

The butler nodded, "Yes."

Shen Lijun said, "Then I’ll go take a look now."

If the renovation was up to standard, she would invite Lin Wu to come over to her house as a guest tomorrow.

"Where is Miss Shen going? I’ll come with you!" Song Jiu came uninvited, hands in his pockets, a casual look on his face.

The butler had already recognized Song Jiu, and said with a smile, "Young Master Song."

Song Jiu nodded at the butler.

Shen Lijun looked at Song Jiu, "I have something to do outside, why are you mingling around for no reason?"

"What, you’re tired of me already?"

Shen Lijun rolled her eyes at him, "Why aren’t you accompanying your girlfriend instead of bothering me?"

"Tsk! Jealous!"

Shen Lijun was speechless, "Why don’t you go look in a mirror?"

Song Jiu stroked his chin, "I am the school heartthrob, you know? It’s your good fortune that I fancy you!"

Shen Lijun made a gagging gesture.

Song Jiu maintained his playful and smiling demeanor, following Shen Lijun’s steps.

The two got into the car together.

Song Jiu handed Shen Lijun a cup of milk tea, "I specially went to your favorite milk tea shop to get this."

Shen Lijun, not being fussy, took the milk tea and took a big sip, "I suppose it’s because your girlfriend doesn’t like it so you gave it to me instead?"

There’s no way someone like Song Jiu would be so kind to buy her milk tea without a reason.

Song Jiu gave Shen Lijun a thumbs up.

"Smart!"

Shen Lijun huffed, "Figures, I knew it."

With that, she mimicked Sister Lin’s way of speaking, "I just knew it, what other sisters don’t want ends up with me."

Her imitation was spot on.

It was as if Sister Lin from the TV had come to life.

No one noticed, at that moment, Song Jiu’s gaze at Shen Lijun was simply radiant.

Not much later.

The car drove into Chaoyang Community on Wutong Road and stopped in front of an apartment building.

After getting out of the car, Song Jiu glanced at the surroundings and frowned, "What are you doing in this godforsaken place?"

Are you full and have nothing better to do?

Shen Lijun couldn’t be bothered with him and walked towards the building.

Song Jiu walked over to the butler, "Grandpa Liu, what’s going on here?"

The butler explained everything to Song Jiu with a beaming smile.

Hearing this, Song Jiu squinted slightly.

It seemed that Shen Lijun really cared about this friend a lot.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have bought an apartment here for her.

Song Jiu quickened his pace, following Shen Lijun upstairs.

A three-bedroom apartment.

The décor was very average, but it fit the living conditions of the ordinary working class.

Song Jiu squinted as he looked around the room, "Junjun, if your friend sees you living in this kind of place and still wants to be friends with you, I’ll take your last name!"

That kind of girl is very realistic.

The reason she’s friendly with Shen Lijun is probably that she saw Shen Lijun dressed nicely, and once she finds out Shen Lijun’s real family situation, she won’t give Shen Lijun the time of day.

Shen Lijun was quite pleased with the apartment’s décor and said firmly, "Xiao Wu would never do that."

Song Jiu laughed, "It’s too early for you to say that now."

Shen Lijun said in frustration, "It’s you who overcomplicate people’s hearts. Not everyone in this world is as bad as you think, right?"

Song Jiu didn’t respond.

A young girl harboring beautiful illusions about the world is normal.

People grow through their experiences.

Unwilling to let it go, Shen Lijun added, "Song Jiu, just wait to take my surname!"

"Fine," Song Jiu looked at Shen Lijun, "if I’m right, then you’ll take my surname, Song."

"No problem," Shen Lijun was not the least bit flustered and took out her phone, "I’ll call Xiao Wu over now to dazzle your titanium alloy dog eyes."

Song Jiu smiled faintly, unconcerned.

After sending the message to Shen Lijun, she went downstairs and said to the butler, "Grandpa Liu, you can go back first."

"All right," the butler nodded.

After receiving Shen Lijun’s text message, Lin Wu grabbed her bag and left the house.

She was wearing the white dress that Lin Bingqiang had given her last time, her hair draped over her shoulders, exuding the essence of youth with every move, like a pure and spotless jasmine flower.

Just as she reached the entrance of the apartment building, she bumped into Qin Fengyang returning from the library.

"Lin Wu?" It was the first time Qin Fengyang saw Lin Wu wearing a dress, and he was momentarily stunned, "Are you going out?"

"Yes," Lin Wu nodded slightly, "I’m meeting a friend."

Meeting a friend?

Qin Fengyang frowned slightly.

Lin Wu had only been in Qing City for a few days; whom could she possibly know?

So, these were all excuses from Lin Wu.

She must have seen him in the building, which is why she deliberately wore a dress to ’bump into’ him downstairs.

Otherwise, why would Lin Wu dress up so nicely?

It was clear that she was trying to please him.

He wanted to see how Lin Wu would continue her lie, and with this thought in mind, Qin Fengyang continued, "Do I know your friend?"
